spencer. >> not only is it wet now but it is going to be wet through the commute in the morning as well. we see a wide path of rainfall from sacramento into the north bay and now moving down past the golden gate into san francisco on to the peninsula and into parts of the east bay. a closer look at the north bay. is where the rain started and it continues to be wet there from santa rosa down to navado and marin county down to the golden gate and eastward out to fairfield and vacaville. looks like pockets of rather substantial rain and even farther south pushing down on to the peninsula and across the east bay to alamo and hayward. hasn't quite reached the south bay yet. but the full force of the rain hasn't reached there yet but it is on its way. i will give you you a clos clor look at the forecast and the seven days ahead a little bit later. dan? >> see you shortly. san francisco went orange and black not for halloween but for today's giants celebration. more on that in a moment. we have a lot of coverage for you.
